Surging Electricity Demand To Spark Energy Crisis

Douglas McIntyre, Editor-in-Chief at Climate Crisis 24/7, highlights a dire warning from ITRON CEO Thomas Dorich: U.S. electricity demand may grow 6% to 7% annually for the next 30 years. This would more than double electricity needs each decade, putting severe pressure on an already strained power grid. McIntyre warns this could lead to conflict between AI energy demands and public needs—ultimately landing in the hands of lawmakers.
